CreativeMornings/Findings

At CreativeMornings fifth birthday, past CreativeMornings/NewYork speaker Maria Popova shared 7 life-learnings from 7 years running BrainPickings. Holstee (founded by another past CreativeMornings speaker) decided to visualize those lessons into a poster. Love it! Check it out and buy one here. →

We heart this Spring Poster by the good people at Holstee and illustrated by Martin Azambuja. Co-founder of the company, Fabian Pfortmüller spoke at our CreativeMornings/Zürich chapter a few years back on the importance of designing with a conscience.

Holstee is founded on the principle of doing just that, creating products that inspire mindful living. Check them out. →

Sara McNally uses ink and paper to connect people. She is the Co-founder of Constellation & Co., a letterpress print studio based in downtown Seattle, Washington, and made quite an impression when she spoke at their local CreativeMornings chapter.

We spoke with the enthusiastic Seattlite about her experience speaking at CreativeMornings, vintage cocktails, and the power of communication. She is this month’s Morning Person. Read the interview. →

Andrew Dickson (Portland)
As a man who has walked the line between design and fine art, Andrew Dickson of Wieden+Kennedy is rarely qualified to offer details and insights on the transition from making art to making ads and back again.

We are infatuated with these hand-crafted frames made from reclaimed Douglas Fir out of Detroit. In particular, the detailing of the rough-sawn edge adds a lovely touch. The frames are born out of a partnership with Urban Ashes, an organization purposefully deconstructing abandoned homes in Detroit. In using a transitional labor force, these valuable and rare materials are diverted from the landfill to create beautiful one-of-a-kind frames.

Co-founder Fabian Pfortmüller was one of the first speakers at our Zürich chapter, where he spoke about design with a conscience. Watch his talk.

CreativeMornings/Atlanta were the lovely folks from Henry & Co. Jason and Julie Henry, graciously asked our Atlanta organizer, Blake Howard, and the great people at Matchstic to design a poster that they could then letterpress, and hand out at the lecture. They agreed and together created the beautiful print above, as well as made this awesome video!

Also, check out Blake’s full post on making it here.

The speaker for this Friday’s CreativeMornings/London is Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy Group and one of marketing’s most original thinkers and influential speakers. As quoted from TED, “Rory Sutherland stands at the center of an advertising revolution in brand identities, designing cutting-edge, interactive campaigns that blur the line between ad and entertainment.” He’s as fervent an advocate of getting the small stuff right as he is luke-warm on the preponderance of crap strategy.

As always, the CreativeMornings/London team did an excellent interview with Rory prior to his talk. You can check it out here.
